Ingredients

1 1/4 cups all-purpose flour (spooned and leveled) 

3/4 cup Dutch-process cocoa powder (spooned and leveled) 

1/2 teaspoon baking soda 

1/4 teaspoon salt 

5 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 

2/3 cup packed light-brown sugar 

1 large egg 

Cream Filling for Chocolate ’n’ Cream Sandwich Cookies

Preparation

In a bowl, whisk together flour, cocoa, baking soda, and salt; set aside. In another bowl, stir together butter, sugar, and egg. Add flour mixture, and stir until a dough forms.

Divide dough in half; roll out between two sheets of parchment paper to a 1/4-inch thickness. Stack on a baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Line two baking sheets with parchment. Using a 2-inch cookie cutter, cut dough into rounds. Place on sheets, 1 inch apart. Bake until cookies are firm and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through. Transfer to wire racks, and let cool.

Spread half the cookies with 1 tablespoon Cream Filling; top with remaining cookies.
